Program
9.45 Welcome and housekeeping

10.00 - 11.00 Alison Macrina from The Library Freedom Project.Based in Massachusetts the Project is a partnership of librarians, technologists, attorneys and privacy advocates focusing on intellectual freedom in libraries. They teach librarians about surveillance threats, privacy rights and responsibilities and the tools libraries can use to prevent mass data surveillance. Alison covered privacy in browsing, being aware about how much information is being shared, what people are agreeing to - user education elements, and what staff should know about. 
The resources for teaching privacy Alison mentioned can be found here: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/resources/onlineprivacybasics/    The privacy toolkit for Librarians can also be found here: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/resources/privacytoolkitforlibrarians/
